Wired: Tech Life | A new tech demo featuring sophisticated performance-capture technology made by the game developer Quantic Dream (Heavy Rain, Indigo Prophecy) was inspired by Ray Kurzweil’s book The Singularity is Near.

The clip, which David Cage, the head of Quantic Dream, unveiled on Wednesday at a Game Developers Conference presentation, shows an android named Kara becoming self-aware as she is being assembled, and desperately insisting that her sentience is a feature and not a bug.

While i watched this video i thought, this is our future this is the truth if we give them intelligence we will ironically give them consciousness a sense of awareness a sense of thought a sense of being alive. I felt the emotion past an animation because i know one day this will be a reality and in truth how differently will the world look once we’ve created these Artilects as Hugo De Garis calls them.

I love Quantic Dream. The writing may not be comparable to high entries from film, but they are making bold moves by putting heavy emphasis on interactive fiction in their games. The effort they are making to incorporate human drama in their titles is both innovative and laudable.
